Thank You to our 2014 Honorees

University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus

Jean and Joe Barban

Joe and Jean Barban were so moved by the care they received at the Anschutz Medical Campus that they were inspired to give back so that others may benefit as well. Their gift of an endowed chair allows CU to recognize top faculty’s talents, hard work and achievements. In turn, the top faculty who hold endowed chairs and professorships elevate the entire university community: attracting other passionate teachers and scholars, igniting students’ curiosity and making ground-breaking discoveries that bring us closer to solving some of the most challenging problems we face today.

J.P. Morgan

The partnership and support of J.P. Morgan has allowed the CU Denver Business School to establish the first comprehensive commodities center in the academic world, which provides programs in the fields of commodity finance, economics and policy. The J.P. Morgan Center for Commodities will be transformational to the future of commodities trading, and the Business School is proud to partner with J.P. Morgan to not only provide such innovative programming, but also scholarships for students in the program. If you would like to support the J.P. Morgan Center for Commodities, please click here.

Doug Tashiro

Providing access to educational opportunities for people who might not otherwise have it is a common theme among our donors. Doug Tashiro’s non-traditional approach to providing academic support has opened a number of doors for students in the CU Denver College of Engineering and Applied Science.
